The type java.lang.CharSequence cannot be resolved. It is indirectly referenced from required .class files

Question

While trying to compile some project from GitHub, I met the following error

The type java.lang.CharSequence cannot be resolved. It is indirectly referenced from required .class files

If I am not mistaking, this is the class from basic JDK. How can it be unreacheable?

I see this error when I clone maven projects into my eclipse with m2e. Have you tried "Maven->Update Project" from the context of the prject node? — Hajo Thelen, Jun 25 '14 at 13:09
`CharSequence` was added in Java 1.4. Do you have a _really_ old copy of java on your computer? — Kenster, Jun 25 '14 at 14:30

Doing the "Maven->Update Project" from the context of the project node (AKA Alt-F5) as suggested by the comment from @hajo-thelen above does this trick and resolves this problem.
